In late September, many areas around Asheville, North Carolina, were struck by Helene's storms. Buncombe County School District specifically lost over 450 homes, schools were shut down, and families lost loved ones. The school district has over 22,000 students and 3,800 staff members. They were lost without any direction of how or when they would be able to return to normality. Being displaced for well over a month, students just recently have been allowed back to school, and staff is doing their best to work with limited supplies, but the high school experience doesn’t look or feel the same. 

Our Student Association was able to make a connection with Buncombe County School District and offer our support. We were asked if we could direct our efforts to support Charles D. Owen High School. We continue to learn more about the school and hope we can help support them through the coming months of recovery.

From December 7 through December 14, we ask that the Glenbrook North Community comes together to raise as much as we can to help bring Owen High School back to life. Our student leaders have put together a great week for the school and community in hopes to raise over $10,000. 100% of all money raised will go to help with supplies and rebuilding of classrooms. Below are ways we can “show up” to support the Owen Warhorses of Black Mountain, North Carolina.

Shop at Sunset Foods, Northbrook, or Jewel in Plaza del Prado between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. and donate. We will have students outside looking for your monetary support.

Tom's Coffee Truck during all lunches outside the cafeteria. 10% of all purchases come back to our fundraising efforts.

Write a letter of support to the students of Owen High School during lunches. Find the tables outside the cafeteria and near the student center.

All school bingo during block 2! Make sure your class pools money together to buy bingo cards and make donations. Money will be collected on Tuesday, December 10. Everyone has a chance to win. Bingo will be held during block 2 on Thursday, December 12.

You can purchase tickets for $10. All proceeds benefit Owen High School, Black Mountain, NC.

Our hope is to get the entire GBN community involved. Please help by attending our events and participating where possible.

Join GNCY for a FREE fall parent webinar series presented by Aaron Weiner, PhD, ABPP.

Today’s teenagers are connected to their screens more strongly than at any point in history, and businesses have emerged to meet them (and keep them) there.
Join Dr. Weiner and GNCY to explore the three most prominent categories of compulsive tech use - video games, gambling, and social media – and discuss how parents can help their teens navigate the increasingly complicated landscape of their digital world.

School Districts 27, 28, and 30 are partnering with Cradles to Crayons for a charity coat drive from December 2-13. Please donate your new and gently used winter coats, boots, and accessories. Donation boxes can be found at Hickory Point, Shabonee, Wood Oaks, Northbrook Junior High, Maple School, and the Northbrook Park District. The coat drive will culminate with a free Community Orchestra Concert featuring all three school districts at 6:30 p.m. on Friday, December 13 at Northbrook Junior High.
